Bottom 100 Pokemon (15th place) Oct 3, 2016
Here is the second Pokemon blog I will make today.  Now, I'm not gonna get into fancy intros, so just remember, if you wanna be tagged in future updates, comment saying you wanna be tagged, and this list IS my opinion, so yeah...

Okay, so in 15th place is our last Pokemon from Kanto.  It is the pure-Poison evolution of Koffing, also known as Weezing!  This dual ball of depressed gas looks so depressed that it actually makes Koffing look GOOD in comparison, and if I am saying THAT, you know you failed.  It is certainly one of the ugliest Pokemon that we have ever had, though the exact ugliest I am kind of undecided on.  The fact it looks like it might pass out from depression at any given point in time does NOT do this thing any favors.

I understand it can be good as a tank, but let's be fair, I don't fucking care.  There are better tanks that I go to that can get the job done better, and if I really want a Poison-type from Kanto, I go to Pokemon such as Nidoking, Nidoqueen, or even Vileplume.  Weezing just sucks to me on all sides and 15th place on this countdown is a GREAT spot for it.

Bottom 100 Pokemon (16th place) Oct 3, 2016
Welcome back to the Bottom 100 Pokemon countdown!  Today is going to be a doozy, but 16 will come now and then 15th will be after class this evening.  Remember, if you want to be tagged for future updates, comment saying you to be tagged, and this list is purely my personal opinion.

So in 16th place we have Watchog, and honestly, with as much hate as Patrat gets, it baffles me just how much Watchog gets overlooked.  Patrat gets hate for its eyes, but WHAT IS UP WITH WATCHOG'S EYES!?  It looks like a bloodshot bullseye.  I know Patrat has bloodshot eyes too, but honestly, I don't have that much of a problem with Patrat besides that.  This thing just annoys me with its very presence, not to mention Lenora's Watchog was a fucking nightmare.  Essentially, it was my version of Whitney's Miltank.

Of course, I didn't have a use for Watchog, which furthers my frustration for it.  I mean, it was useless to me, but fucking Lenora can body me with one!?  Thankfully Lenora was the only Gym Leader I had trouble with in Unova, but if you want a beginning Pokemon that ISN'T a Starter done right, this could have taken notes from Stoutland.

Worlds End Assessment 1 (Eps. 1 - 3) Oct 2, 2016
First and foremost, I am glad to see Melinda back behind the pen again!  I still remember back when One Killer was one of the hottest blog series going on and then it was gone without a trace!  So with Worlds End in motion, it's time to get back into the swing of doing assessments!

Since One Killer and Descendants went long periods of time without episodes, I had been writing a story of my own, bringing back the icon from One Killer known as Serena Creed as a main character, as well as a few other characters I have been in other blog series I could fit into the plot AND some new faces.

But onto Worlds End, with there being 10 episodes, I think the best approach is to go on the 3rd, 7th, and 10th episodes since that is what I have been doing with Descendants, a blog series that has also had 10 episodes each season.  There been a death so far, but I can already see one approaching.  Thus, no "In Memorium".

Roy Aragon - EPISODE 1 - As always, these Assessments are to start with my own characters.  Now BECAUSE Serena had since become a character in "The Awakening", I did not want to make an export, so Roy is completely made from scratch.  A medieval character was honestl ythe first thing that came to mind, but other than leave Chloe behind, I don't dislike this guy on his own.  He isn't perfect by any means, but I do want to see him grow in upcoming episodes.

Ghrocky100 - Alex Jackson - EPISODE 2 -JESUS GOD ALMIGHTY DOES ALEX EVER SUCK!



Alex was the absolute worst in One Killer, and now I can see that has carried over to Worlds End.  He lied about Chloe to Emil when he honestly didn't even need to do that, he basically gathers girls which I'm guessing he wants to rape or some shit?  Do I have the tiny details down?  Nonetheless, Alex is slimy and a sleeze.
QueenMichelle - Alexis Ahora - EPISODE 1 - Alexis just gives me mixed vibes this time around, which I guess is better than being the manstealer she was in Descendants.  I do feel like Alexis IS up to something in this series though, and so could lowkey become a villain.  We'll see what happens.
KatarinaDuCouteau - Catherine Woods-Hiller - EPISODE 1 - Cat, I'm not gonna lie, is still a bit irrelevant compared to the rest of the cast.  She doesn't have much of a presence on me other than that she's on a journey with Alexis.  So looking at it from THAT viewpoint, she's not someone I'd mainly care about.  But I'll give her a chance to prove me wrong.
Aoki - Chloe Skivington - EPISODE 1 - Welp, Chloe is doomed.  She was bitten by a zombie, which MEANS she is going to turn into one.  That's just how zombies work.  But minus that, I think Chloe is one of the better characters in this cast, so this is honestly just a waste.  Chloe just seems like the kind of character that could have made a good heroine in Worlds End.  Ugh!  Well, I at least hope she gets a worthy send-off.
Nenalalala - Emily Payne - EPISODE 1 - So with Emily, I feel like we're going to be seeing her a lot, and I feel like she will have to be a rock for the group.  She's somewhat likable, but I am not much of a fan for the laziness she's had in Episode 1.  I think this Apocalypse could awaken her mind though and that'll be all to the good.
Guigi - Francesca "Fany" Jordans - EPISODE 3 - And here is what seems to be an old grandma kind of character.  That's about the only vibe I've gotten from her, so let's hope she does something in the coming episodes.
Tkoj555 - Jojo Kincaid - EPISODE 1 - Jojo is actually quite interesting.  She has her flaws, but she is a relatable character.  I'd imagine if zombies started becoming a threat the moment after I get kicked out of a house, I'd imagine I'd be damn pissed too.  Can't wait to see what kind of person Jojo becomes.
MrBird - Maya Schrim - We haven't seen Maya yet, so she will not get an assessment.
Captainzacsparrow - Mitsuko Nagano - EPISODE 2 - I've seen people react positively to Mistuko, and to be honest, I have a hard understanding why.  She just strikes as the "Yep... yep, that's how it is" kind of person, and while I am not totally against that, she seems a bit shallow.  I guess all the characters do at this point since it's only 3 episodes in and the next assessment will be after the 7th episode, but still.  Mistuko just seems a bit of a shallow entit.
MrPokeGuy9 - Oli Grubb - EPISODE 2 - Back in One Killer, Oli was seen as the Most Improved Character because he went from being a creepo to actually wanting to help the main target, even though he got himself killed doing so.  This time, Oli's kind of the meet-up Tori has, so I want to see Oli become his own.
Katherinee_ - Rebecah Black - EPISODE 1 - I'm going to be honest.  This Rebecah just does not match up to her One Killer counterpart.  I do not approve of her Episode 1 plot in which she works for a strip club because it has become such a cliché in blog series that I just now eyeroll at the characters who begin as strippers, and since Episode 1, I haven't been raving about her.  I am hoping Rebecah can turn herself around.
Kelly2722 - Tori Matthews - EPISODE 1 - Another Tori comes into the fray.  Throughout her incarnations, Tori's given me mixed reviews.  In One Killer, she took a steep decline in one season, then in Descendants she didn't have as much of a prescence on me despite being Mada's grandchild, and now in Jefferson, she's been pretty mixed.  So how did Tori do in Worlds End?  To be honest, Tori's had worse.  I didn't like her in Episode 1 because she just seemed over-the-place, but in episodes since, she's seemed to be a clearer character.  Hopefully that's a step in the right direction because I do want to give all the characters a chance when I do these Assessments.
MelindaMrsKK - Sean Brymon - EPISODE 3 - I don't know what to make of Sean.  He apparentl has some connection with Emily, so I imagine Sean will be important later on.  I do want to see how he develops, but for now, I'm a bit undecided as to whether or not I should like him.

That's all I have for this assessment!  I needed to make some links to other stories as I wrote this as, like I said, I am just getting back into the swing of these.  It will be another 4 episodes till the next Assessment as it is 10 episodes and this is how I'll keep these at an even pace in a 10-episode format.

With this out of the way, I do have a few questions I would love to see answered in upcoming episodes:
What caused this zombie outbreak and how come it's most prominent when there are earthquakes?
How will Chloe's secret of getting bit be let out?
What will get Roy to open up?
How does Sean fit in with the group?  How does the rest fit in with the group?

So as it's always been, I hope you've all enjoyed reading this.  Sometimes first impressions can be quite negative, so I only assess the best stories out there.  If you don't llike what I've said, take it with a grain of salt.  I'll see you when I next see you!

Bottom 100 Pokemon (17th place) Oct 2, 2016
Once I finished with my 18th place blog, I began work right away on this second one I'm giving you guys for today.  Remember, if you wanna be tagged for future updates, you've gotta comment telling me you wanna be tagged, and of course, this list IS my opinion.  If you said you wanna be tagged for the 18th place blog, you will be tagged from 16th and up.

Now, the 2nd Pokemon today, the Pokemon clocking in at 17th, is from Johto.  This is Sudowoodo, and honestly, I actually thought at first it was going to be a cool Pokemon.  However, what I GOT from Sudowoodo was a derpy... tree?  WHAT!?  HOW is this a cool Pokemon in any way!?  As a KID I was disappointed with it, and nothing has changed.  I saw it got a pre-evolution, but that only furthers my anger I have towards this... tree.  At Bonsly was cute and you could throw it around as a weapon in Smash Bros.  Sudowoodo hits all the wrong notes in all the places, if it even hit a fucking note with me to begin with.

Bottom 100 Pokemon (18th place) Oct 2, 2016
imageI'm back with more Pokemon!  Because this library is only open for another less than 2 hours, once I finish posting this blog for 18th place, I will be working on 17th right away.  Remember, state you wanna be tagged if you wanna be tagged and this list is my opinion.  Just note that even if I do tag you, it won't start until the 16th place blog.

So for 18th place I have Foongus from Unova!  Honestly, the whole Pokeball gimmick is just whatever to me, and there really nothing else that is interesting about whatever this is.  There are better Grass options out there as WELL as better Poison options.  What it comes down to at that point is that if you're in an area where Foongus are common, you'll probably run into them a lot, even when they look like an item you can pick up in the overworld.  Everything about this Pokemon is LAME!

Bottom 100 Pokemon (19th place) Sep 29, 2016
imageHere is the Pokemon in 19th place and the last one we'll be seeing until Sunday.  With me working on both Friday and Saturday, I need to keep these entries to days I can go up to the college to do my shit.  Anyway, if you wanna be tagged for future updates, please comment stating you want to be tagged, and this list IS my personal opinion, duh!

So anyway, the Pokemon in 19th place for this countdown comes from Sinnoh.  It is the 435th Pokemon, Skuntank.  It is here for a more personal reason, that being I REALLY don't like skunks!  Being a resident of Connecticut, or anywhere in New England for that matter, you're eventually gonna run into skunks, and I've had one time where I saw two in the span of three minutes.  So yeah, you can probably imagine why I don't like them.

Anyway, CONSIDERING that I know firsthand what a skunk looks like, let me just say that THIS looks nothing like a skunk!  It's too fat and plump.  Also, why does the toxic gas comes from the tip of its tail?  That's not how skunks spray whatever it is that makes them smell so bad.  This Pokemon fails at being a skunk on so many levels that it's a miracle it didn't get any higher on the list.  The typing is fine, but if I want a Poison/Dark Pokemon, I think I'm gonna stick with Drapion.
